DJ X/DJ Expo 2022 Highlights Ft. Top DJ Content Creators & Interview with DJ Barr
I think if you say " Mr and Mrs" then the groom's name should be first. But there is no rule book and guests won't notice.
@@djaga4404 yea I believe that to be true as well, but it’s how she wanted me to say it on the planning form
For Hispanic parties try norteñas
@@ReneMartinez-r2j I’ll have to look into that man thank you !
How was the low end on those speakers?
Damn that microphone is terrible😂
@@aphexish I bought it at 7/11
I was talking about the gopro mic.
I'm getting drop outs with the LD mic. Do you have any other problems with it?
@@thedjflowpodcast ahh damn I’m sorry bro, so far I haven’t had any dropouts at all, I’ve been good with ceremony/grand entrances & I honestly don’t reset the frequency each time like I should but the minute I start getting drop outs I’m getting the shure QLX lol
Great video - add the shirt to the check-list!
@@biglegokidreviews9170 definitely bro lol the suit is pretty much just as important as the equipment for weddings
Nice gig log. What photo booth do you use?
@@jtm71 thanks bro ! & it’s a cheap one from Amazon, basically a fancy iPad holder Here’s the link amzn.to/4079wp8
Dat bih 🔥 bro bro how u liking it ??
@@rodneydukesjr6572 definitely continues to be one of the best controllers out there, I still use it🔥
That's my boy, stepping it up to 1/4 inch. Only fools dabble in petty non guitar establishments
@@Murdervator 😂😂 appreciate you noticing those technicalities !!
I'm pretty sure the groom's name is pronounced first. Do not buy ANYTHING in Atlantic City..
@@Murdervator ayyy what’s up bro ! yea that’s what I thought too lol but in the planning forms that how the bride wanted me to say it & that’s true bro, everything is crazy expensive
Well done Kev. Solid work
@@djcalvin681 appreciate it bro !!
Word play and quick mixing seems to be the thing. Looks like you rocked it though.
@@projekt679 appreciate it bro ! When you know a crowd actually cares about music you definitely gotta throw in some tricks if possible
Yes! You’re always going to get those people. I’ve found that playing the guest musics later when everyone is lit.
@@projekt679 yea I think that’s always safest & also likely after some of the older guests leave lol
I think your being to hard on yourself DJ. You crushed it.
@@projekt679 definitely my own toughest critic lol thanks bro !
Ask Aaron Strawn about Serato vs Virtual DJ @aaronstrawn
@@MrDJMikieMike lol I know he’s an ambassador for VDJ, idk why I just can’t do it lol I also like to dj with Barr when I get the chance & he uses serato so I just stick with it
@ back when I first started djing I was a Serato guy, then people wanted Karaoke so that’s when I made the switch and stuck with VDJ. They are both the Best programs for DJing!!
I try to follow the couples list of music but most importantly their do not play list. I watch the crowds reaction to the music, so if what they gave me I will read the crowd and if what gets them up to dance that’s what I’m sticking with then throw a song from the couples list in here and there. If the couple sees their guest up and dancing they usually will follow along with the crowd. When I meet with the couple from the first meet till the last meeting I keep reminding them if their guest don’t see them on the dance floor the guest probably won’t be on the dance floor either. Being a wedding dj is a tough road to be on. Great Video!!!
@@MrDJMikieMike yea man I agree, that’s how I went about it with this wedding but not a bad idea to remind about the dancing part. I think I just give them too long of a list for the must play list
@ I usually tell the couple give me 10 songs that you definitely want played because 99% of Weddings the couple wants you to take requests, so if they give a 2 or 3 page list of must play songs there is no way you can take requests not only that there would be no possible way you can play every song on their list.
quality of your audio is crap are you stemming your video audio?
@@eecycee6073 nah too lazy but yes I know I can record from serato then add in those audio files along with the crowd noise, just curious if this is your first time watching long format gig logs ?
Bro, get out there and help them with the line dances!
@@DJDamien42 lmao my Filipino routes would be proud if I did but the American side of me would cringe
I forget undershirts and belts all the time! I’ve started keeping an extra belt in my truck.
@@DJDamien42 yea man we focus so much on the dj equipment it’s easy to forget our personal equipment but that’s not a bad idea lol maybe one day I’ll have a whole second suit in my trunk just in case
Your videos have helped me alot, I've been DJ'ing for less than 2 years. Are the J8's good enough for a wedding of 150 ppl? I've been hesitant on pulling the trigger on these.
That’s awesome man glad to hear ! & that’s a good question, I feel that I can comfortably push them for 100 people & as mentioned not so much for big rooms. 150 people I’d be more comfortable with two speaker tops and a 15 inch sub, otherwise maybe only rooms with a low ceiling for 150 people
how are the J8s? I haven't heard them in person, but want something for weddings with 100 people or less. I use 2 QSCs and 15' JBL sub, but just getting kind of tired of using those in small rooms when i dont need to. Personally feel that Evolve50s are overpriced, and J8s seem reasonable, and I dont need a mixer on them.
J8’s definitely sound like they’re perfect for you lol the EVs are way overpriced, j8s to me had the best sound clarity, boost & convenience when traveling for its price point
Let's go Kev is back! Great video man.
Dj del ! I see you playing ball out there like Al Horford 😎 lol thanks bro ! Hope to see you at DJ X again 👌🏽👌🏽
Awesome gig log bro!! I didn’t even notice that you didn’t have the crowd stand up for the entrances. Your energy on the mic is awesome!
Thank you bro !! Just one of those things we notice but other people like wedding guests likely don’t lol but I appreciate it homie ! 💪🏽
Awesome gig log bro!! I didn’t even notice that you didn’t have the crowd stand up for the entrances. Your energy on the mic is awesome!
Amen brother! People think being a wedding DJ is easy but there is A LOT in there they don't see or know about. Just the planning and organization before hand sometimes is too much when you have multiple events you are juggling. But I am not complaining and love the job! Thanks again for sharing another fun video!
Yea man couldn’t imagine having 4 wedding weekends regularly, the money would be fantastic but I know my mind would be beyond exhausted lol
Thx for the sharing kev, its a good lesson to be learn. Well everybody think their know about dj, but they dont. Its a strugle that we all have to face as a dj. Anyway, its a good gig, sometime we can make it, sometime we dont, but we do as best as we can for them, Both party have to work together at one point. Eventhough we know, good or bad, we will be the scapegoat.hahaha..Btw, nice setup u had back there.All the best to u bruh. Cheers. Keep it up.
Definitely the scapegoat sometimes lol but also can be the only reason a party is fun ! Appreciate it bro ! Thank you 🙌🏽
Live events, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. It's how we shift and take care of it that matters. The show must go on. I always ask the ones who ask me to change a song, are they paying me? Good show!
Definitely what makes us professional lol good mobile DJ’s know how to think on the spot & have backups for everything & definitely gotta pay up for song requests lol
Always appreciate the honesty and transparent summary bro! Not every event is a smash! Show up & have fun 👍🏾.. Q: what do u use the insta 360 and the go pro for?
@@imaniinternational7853 thank you bro ! & absolutely !! I use the insta360 for instagram reels & the GoPro to shoot these gig logs
@koproductions8266 Nice! Can either one of switch up & do iG or Gig logs?
Whats the name of the tube light you have on the RCF
@@djadjoa9517 ape lab sticks 👍🏽
Great gig Kev! I like that you had everyone dancing 🕺🏽 💃 . What are your thoughts so far on your RCF J8 , I’m thinking of getting some white ones. Have you ever added a sub for more bass? -DjGeorge Thank you!
Thanks bro ! I'm still loyal to my J8's, they've just been the right fit for the type of events I do, I've never had trouble with the bass, I more so have trouble speaking over the music when making announcements or MC'ing, I feel like that's just where 12-15inch speaker tops really shine The j8's are just so portable and gave me my overall best price to clarity of sound ratio
Great video Bro!!! As a beginner DJ, I found this super informative. I’m noticing that everyone has their own take on equipment and setup, but in the end, it really comes down to what works best for each person. "Opinions are like A** Holes everyone has one" -Anonymous-
@@AmericanPatriot1972 thanks bro !! & absolutely lol your setup has to make sense for you & your clients ! Prioritize your setup being functional first then build it up from there
get a Gravity Cart to lug your gear from your car to inside your gig
@@djpaulthompson yea I have the rock n roller cart now it’s not too bad, but I hear good things about the gravity cart
the frosted tubes are now available
Are you still using the DMXGO? Any updates on what you're using if not?
@@user-UnMagico I still use it, I just don’t always get asked to do lights but I would say it’s held up so far, half the time there’s maybe one light out of 6 that never reads correctly so it’s a lot of unplugging & refreshing the software but eventually it always works
@ I appreciate the response.
You're a nurse... so you're pinoy? :)
@@Utoober-yp7mf yes sir !!
How do we get the customised vinyl? please bro
@@Gem8631 go to 12inchskinz.com broski, they got them on there

Late to your vid. What were minor things that didnt go well?
@@jtm71 all good bro ! I think the main things were the venue complaining about my lights bc they were shining right in the bartenders face, other than that, it was a fairly easy event bc I’ve DJ’d for them multiple times already & she didn’t have many formalities
I got stiffed $1200 in May for a gig I did for another DJ. It's October and he still says he is gonna pay me. That's why I now do a "Pay before play" policy.
Why the gold edition?
@@ByronForrest2010 my rane one was already all black, I might add a skin to make this one all white though
He could’ve at least stood behind it with a controller on it so we can at least gauge how tall it will be to people over 6 ft Tall…
I appreciate you keeping it real about DJ furniture. I love the look of furniture, but something like this is much more versatile, and versatility and budget is a major consideration. I would need three DJ furniture pieces for our events. White, Black, and Wood Grain (for rustic barns), where these you change a scrim. Great video. Keep up the good work, and sorry for finding it so late.
@@StevieRayEntertainme thanks for the response bro ! I agree that your dj booth has to make sense for your clientele & budget, if I did more weddings then maybe dj furniture would make more sense but I still use this dj booth & it’s holding up well for me so far 🙌🏽
No line dance?
@@kapisithekid2843 lol I don’t believe they wanted line dances for this one
A cool trick so that you're not blinding people is to bounce the lights off the ceiling. You get a better wash effect.
@@tbmproductionsdj1 appreciate the tip Brodie ! Will have to try that next lighting event
Referral or Not, Always do a contract with a client. I learned the hard way years ago and never again.
@@djchinotsp0422 that’s definitely the right thing to do bro, I’m sorry you had to learn the hard way, it seems that some DJ’s always have one story of a client who didn’t end up paying
Man i appreciate you posting this video. Having the opportunity to shadow along with DJ Barr must be awesome. I about to have my first wedding and as hispanic coming from lots of XV, it really is nerve wrecking for me right now and ill be driving 4 hours away from home to the venue.
@@stevenmata3539 ayyy good luck bro !! I’m sure for my first wedding I would’ve done them under those circumstances as well but sheesh that’ll be a long day of travel & in regards to being able to shadow it’s definitely a blessing being able to watch how a wedding is supposed to be from start to finish, if there’s any known good wedding DJ’s in your area be a roadie for them & youll learn a wealth of information
Your emceeing skills are on point. Keep it up bro!
